I had a friend with a LeBaron convertible (another K-Car variant). He thought it was a cherry ride, but his girlfriend would always wear a scarf and big sunglasses whenever the top was down. It was a look worn out of embarrassment, she was hoping no one would recognize her. Whenever they pulled up I'd point and say, "Who's that girl who looks like Grace Kelly and why is she riding in that ugly car?"

I'm gonna tell you 'bout the team that I root for
It's that Dodge Veg-O-Matic there on the Target Field.
Well, I'm gonna tell you 'bout the team that I roll with.
Well it doesn't go nowhere, it just stays there in fifth.

You know, I like it.
You know, I like it a whole lot.

Well, that's my Dodge Veg-O-Matic there on the Target Field
My Dodge Veg-O-Matic, there on the Target Field.
You know, I like it.
You know, I like to watch it reel.

(I don't know why)

I'm gonna tell you 'bout a team you'd best not watch.
The next concussion is just a kick in the crotch.
I'm gonna tell you 'bout a team that you won't dig.
The best prospect gets snapped like a twig.
I like it.

I like it a lot.

Because it's my Dodge Veg-O-Matic, it's there on the Target Field
My Dodge Veg-O-Matic, it's there on the Target Field.
You know, I like it, though,
Yes, I like it a lot.

Tell 'em

Well, I'll meet you at seven at the Target Field.
We can all just stand by the fence, you know, and watch it reel.
Well, I'll see you now at seven, sir, don't be late.
We'll stand there and watch them disintegrate.

You know, I like it.

You know, I like it a lot.

Let's do another verse

Well, go ahead and cheer, don't listen to me, go ahead and do it.
You'll watch one inning and you'll know you blew it.
See, the bats are made of balsa and arms are all quite fungible
You'll want to go back home but find out that tix are non-refundable.

You know, I like it, though.

I like this team a lot.

My Dodge Veg-O-Matic, it's there on the Target Field.
It's my Dodge Veg-O-Matic, there on the Target Field.
Well, you know, I like it.
I like it a lot.

There used to be a car called the "Baker Electric", so numerous Bakers would make the list.

"Stanley Steamer" so ditto for any Stanleys.

After the second world war there were Kaiser cars and Frazer cars so Jeff Kaiser and various Fraziers/Frasers, if you want to fudge the spelling.

Hudson cars were sold until the mid-1950's so Tim Hudson, et al.

There have been literally thousands of brands of cars sold (many of which lasted for a couple of years and disappeared). Someone with plenty of time could come up with a long list of names for the "automobile team".
